What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is everything to me. It is as important as all of my children. Music is the only truly diverse fabric that binds all people together. It is a religion to me, so to speak, the only majestic universal language.

What is your music dream?

I have played small venues to stadiums. All shows are a dream. The best dream is having a group of individuals to create that dream together with. The total dream is to continue to create and share what has been created in ay capacity.

What inspires you to make music?

Joy, creativity, compassion, expression, the challenge, love, hate and most importantly my fans.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Just feel it the way you individually want to. After that be honest about the music and yourself.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Simply amazing!

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

We need venues and festivals to start back up again! Damn COVID!

What do you think of Drooble?

It is pretty kiss ass thus far.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Addiction and time.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

By promoting other bands, gigging, procurement of music and merch. Engaging other people to attend events is a big deal as well.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Stay true to yourself and your music. Be loyal to the individuals you are creating music with. Technical knowledge of recording and social media platforms is becoming evermore critical, so learn ot or hire someone to teach you.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I have been into this band from Seattle, WA that goes by December in Red. They are the cats meow.
